About

This trip floats a beautiful, approximately 3-mile stretch of the North Platte River from the Paxton bridge to the Sarben bridge. You can choose from Tanks, Tubes, or Kayaks. We provide life jackets and oars/paddles, and there is bench seating in the tanks. Bringing snacks and coolers with your favorite beverages is encouraged -- there is plenty of room in the tanks for coolers, and if you are tubing we have cooler tubes available for rent as well.

No need to worry about transportation or hauling equipment, we take care of all of that for you! You will check in at Dusty Trails in North Platte, we will haul you and the equipment to Paxton (about a 35-mile drive) and get you started on your float. When you get to the Sarben bridge, we will be there to haul you and your equipment back to North Platte.

* Water levels are always fluctuating. We check levels daily and if levels are too low or high, we will call you to let you know your options, which could include alternate equipment or trips. Call 308-530-0048 if you have questions*

All times listed are Central Time Zone.
